The first thing anyone facing homelessness needs is housing. Our emergency housing is for youth between 16 and 24 who are fleeing an unsafe home environment, those who have lost their housing, and young people who have spent time on the streets. Youth Haven’s house features 10 beds for those identifying as young men and 6 beds for those identifying as young women.
We want our youth to feel welcome and proud of themselves for the courage to take action and seek assistance to improve their lives. When a young person in-need comes to stay at Youth Haven they receive clothes, food, personal need items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo, and bedding when they arrive. They are offered the opportunity to speak to a youth worker right away for pressing needs, or unwind and rest.
